True story bros, can't post on meta because I don't have enough rep here. So I ask here, prepared for the flames (of love).
I had a google account that was provided through my college which I have graduated and moved on. The account has been closed and now it appears I can not log into my SO account anymore that was associated with that google account.
Do I have any options to recover it or do I start over and lose my (not so) massive amounts of rep, badges, and the access to my previous Qs and As.
Thanks for the certain kind responses I am sure to get for this question.
Dude, you just find a computer that you have set to log into automatically to your e-mail and haven't since logged out since the expiration of your account. Then the credentials should still be valid for SO.
Once you are logged in here, then you just follow the instructions here and you can add more login credentials to your SO account.

We have a client account of Amazon seller central. We need to pull campaign performance data from this account. With Amazon Advertising API we can pull this report.
Here are the documentation links:

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/AdProductsWebsite/downloads/Amazon_Advertising_API_Reference.TTH.pdf
I followed the procedure in Getting Started Guide
1) Created a developer account(Login with Amazon)
2) completed the sign up form as specified in second step.
I am not sure what to do next as I did not receive any reply from amazon regarding this. Does anyone faced similar issue before?
Thanks.
It takes two or three days from Amazon to reply in most case and as they are getting high volume of application it might be possible that they have rejected it so try more then once. And try to give some information to use in the comment section.
In addition, a business registration in either NA or EU is required before they can grant permission to the Advertising API.
After all this verification they can allow access.
Hope this help to you.
Thanks,
James
If you have already received the onboarding e-mail, and you are sure that you are sending the correct API communications yet you are getting bad scope errors, then you are not yet White Listed so your requests are all rejected.
For me and many others I found while googling for hours to find the answer, this problem was due to not yet signing a license agreement which is in a very easy to overlook link hidden in a paragraph of the e-mail which starts: "Before you can register your application, you need to agree to the Amazon Advertising API License Agreement" Hit that link and accept the agreement to become white listed.
As a last resort if the above doesn't work, Amazon support had given me a direct e-mail to LWA and you can contact their support: lwa-support at amazon com.
I have an app in sandbox mode and I have a sandbox user that is pending. (It has also been at least a day since the user was added). The user can successfully use my app and has given authorization; however, the user's likes returns an empty response (I know they can only access liked media from other authorized sandbox users, but the user has liked media from my account that is set as the admin). The Instagram API documentation states that the user may go to their developer site and accept/decline sandbox invites from the Sandbox Invites tab except my user is shown the developer register page instead. Does anyone know what is going on/how to fix this?
Instagram made sweeping changes to it's API and the way it is accessed recently. As a result of the lockdown the Sandbox Invite process is glitchy at best. I myself just ran into this issue of invites not showing up.
It seems, for the moment, the only way to access the invite is to fill out the developer form(I just used a http://localhost:8000 URL and a random phone number that is not likely to exist, although try without one as it might not be necessary). That should automatically forward you to the invite page where the invited user can then accept or decline a Sandbox Invite.
It's a bit of a mess and the lack of documentation / indication to indicate that this step is mandatory doesn't help matters. Hope this helps save some time and headaches!
I want to pull likes and comments from any account that I specify. Can this be done with the Instagram API or do you have to have the accounts permissions to pull this info.
Essentially I want to be able to analyze this data without having log in credentials for the account.
Thanks!
Following the June 2016 changes to the API, you will need to invite the other users to be "Sandbox Users" of your API client. And even then, the access will be limited to their last 20 posts. Here's a quick explanation of the new Instagram API rules.
TL;DR
Sandbox users are other Instagram users that you “invite” to your
client. The main reason to do this is so that your app will then be
able to “see” their last twenty posts in addition to your own. In
other words, when they accept the invitation, they show up on the tiny
desert island where your app lives.
So you don't need their actual login credentials, but they do need to accept your invitation in order for it to work. The only other alternative is getting your app through the submission process to "go live" but there are very few use cases which they will accept anymore.
A client of ours created a Google Analytics account by himself in july 2013 and asked us to introduce the code to their site. Recently they asked for the data but we obvioulsy don´t have access to it and he don´t remember what email account he created it from.
We have replaced the old UA with a new one managed by us, but it occurred to me perhaps we could somehow find out what gmail adress the original UA code was associated with in order to recover the old traffic data. Here is the original code: UA-42583725-1 and here´s the current one (the one we DO have access to): UA-49424805-1
We have FTP access to site in case you need us to prove we are the owners of the site.
Thank you very much for your help
I've just started working with Google OAUTH2 in order to add a "Sign in with Google" button to my web site.
According to the "Google+ Platform Developer Policies" section B.2.a.III, if a user deletes their Google account, I must delete all personal information I obtained from the Google API relating to them.
Does this apply to my web application as well? And if so, how do I detect that a user's Google account no longer exists? Surely, a successful login will only occur if the Google account exists; so how can I tell if a previously existing account is no longer there?
Maybe someone has a better approach, but a simple and practical solution would be have a link buried somewhere on your site that allows a user to request account deletion via email (assuming you still possess a valid email for him - if he deletes is Gmail and that's all you have then you have no way to contact him other than manually via phone or something).
The doc you link to says Give users a reasonably convenient way to delete any of their personal information you’ve obtained from the API.
So assuming you still have a valid email address, this would work:
Your FAQ says "What if I want to delete my account?". Links to account deletion page.
Account deletion page: What's your email? _____ (Continue)
Email is sent to user with (securely randomized) confirmation link.
Confirmation link is clicked by user which deletes all of his data from your site.
Success of that process is dependent only on your system and the email arriving.
(If you are concerned about complying to EU data protection law, you might want to implement this feature anyway - since one legally has the right to demand the deletion of one's own personal data.)
